A new strategy applicable to the synthesis of indoloquinolizine natural products has been developed. A cyanide-catalyzed intramolecular imino-Stetter reaction of aldimines, derived from 2-aminocinnamic acid derivatives and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehydes, provided indole-3-acetic acid derivatives bearing a pyridyl ring at the 2-position. Reduction of the carboxylic acid moiety to an alcohol followed by activation of the resulting alcohol with TfO or TsCl generated indoloquinolizinium salts, which were utilized as precursors for indoloquinolizine natural products. The advantage of this protocol was successfully demonstrated in the total syntheses of arborescidine A and nauclefidine.

Article Synopsis
- The complexity-to-diversity (CtD) strategy is a key method for converting complex natural products into a variety of skeletal structures, but its effectiveness is often limited by the compatibility of reactions with different functional groups.
- Our research group has developed innovative stereodivergent strategies using indoloquinolizine analogues, resulting in the efficient and selective creation of various natural product-like compounds, including camptothecin-inspired analogues and unique ring systems.
- These advancements in synthetic design enable a modular approach to producing diverse biologically relevant natural product analogues and offer a versatile platform for other late-stage transformations in natural product chemistry.

By docking 126 derivatives of β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid, tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid and indoloquinolizine into the active pocket of P-selectin (2-(3-(hydroxymethyl)-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)ethyl)-l-phenylalanine (HMCEF) was assigned a novel inhibitor. ELISA and flow cytometry experiments showed that HMCEF effectively down-regulated P-selectin expression and supported the rationality of the computer assistant screening, while UV spectrum experiments demonstrated that HMCEF directly bound to P-selectin. In vivo HMCEF dose dependently inhibited the rats and mice to form thrombus and had a minimal effective dose of 20nmol/kg, dose dependently inhibited inflammatory response of mice and had a minimal effective dose of 20nmol/kg.

Article Synopsis
- The novel imidazole derivative PIPP is identified as a highly sensitive chemisensor for detecting transition metal ions and serves as a versatile optically switchable material.
- Research shows that the fluorescence properties of PIPP are affected by the polarity and protic nature of various solvents, indicating a solvatochromic effect.
- The study highlights a FRET process between PIPP and a bioactive indoloquinolizine molecule, suggesting that long-range dipole-dipole interactions are key to the energy transfer, with quantified energy transfer efficiency and donor-acceptor distance.
Identification of inhibitors of the E. coli cyclopropane fatty acid synthase from the screening of a chemical library: In vitro and in vivo studies.

Using an automated coupled colorimetric assay for the Escherichia coli cyclopropane fatty acid synthase (CFAS), we have screened an academic chemical library of 3040 compounds, to identify new inhibitors of this enzyme. We identified 8 compounds as potent inhibitors of this enzyme, with IC(50) ranging from 1 to 10 microM, in the presence of 750 microM S-adenosyl-l-methionine and 1 mg/mL phospholipids. We conducted kinetic analyses of the inhibition of the CFAS using dioctylamine and three inhibitors identified in this report: sinefungin, 1, a synthetic S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine analog, 2, and an indoloquinolizine derivative, 3.
